Araku Valley's Valise Flowers: A Tourism Spectacle Facing Economic Neglect

Araku Valley's Valise Flowers: A Tourism Spectacle Facing Economic Neglect

Imagine a beautiful valley called Araku that gets covered in pretty yellow and green flowers every fall.

These flowers, called Valise flowers, look amazing and bring lots of tourists who love taking pictures.

But the farmers who grow these flowers are sad because they can't make much money from them.

They wish there were special factories nearby to turn the flowers into valuable oil.

Without these factories, the farmers might stop growing the flowers.

Everyone hopes the government will help build these factories so the flowers can be both beautiful and helpful for the farmers' jobs.
